  • Still Snow Up There

    Good evening, its about time for bed.  Did anyone go out and travel this holiday weekend?  Not me and the price of gas is approaching 4 bucks a gallon. My racing season seems to always be in jeopardy. Before I go off to la la land (remember that place) I am glad to report that…

  • Going To Lolo Pass

    I need to bust out so why not pick the most miserable place.  I will get my bandages wet so I have an excuse to rip them off … just kidding.  I plan to use a garbage bag.  I need to get out and see where my Anaerobic Threshold is so I begin training next…

  • La La Land

    Hello from La La land where I just had my traditional scone and brew. La La Land because I have been out of it since my crash. Things are getting more defined and clearer but it is not the same as before, like this desire to do 24 hour races this year instead of cross…

  • Rainy Day Doldrums

    Ho hum, what is up today. It is hard to tell.  Snowing in parts of Montana with totals of 16 inches in some spots.  Some of us will get 3 to 5 inches of rain today.   That is as much as we get all year.  Everything seems weird.  It is supposed to get into the…

  • Awesome People

    Good morning from Missoula Montana where some say, “I need to spend more time in Missoula”. “We are the Champions” is playing on the radio right now and there is flooding everywhere (Greenough Park is Closed).  Odd song for early in the morning. My foot feels even better this morning and I have received support…

  • Spring in Missoula

    Hello from Missoula Montana where spring has arrived in force, but I find myself sick this morning. First off, I need to rant since I quite possibly have a fever and swallowing is like pulling a freight train through a garden hose. A Good Tip If you’re sick, say with a sore throat or fever,…

  • Look Mom, No Meds

    Going med-less today. Hello from City Brew and a sunny Missoula weekend day.  I am walking and last night I rode the trainer for an hour.  It was sure hard getting going. Ankle hurts but is getting more flexible and strong, head is clearing, little at a moment. Time for a nap! Let’s ride, give…

  • Back in the Saddle

  • Got A Big Head

    Went to the doc yesterday and the good news is that I can walk now and start to train to get back.  Bad news is that I must stay off the roads until my brain heals (Concussion).  Feeling better all ready this morning! Rest is the best recovery technique. Healing takes time. For headaches, acetaminophen…

  • Counting The Losses

    Edmund R. Burke, Ph.D., “Unfortunately, the muscle cells gain from miles and miles of cycling are quickly lost when you stop training. If for some reason you are unable to train for just one week, the muscle’s aerobic energy declines to 50 percent of its trained level … Studies have shown that the number of…

  • Bike Accident Weekend Part 2

    Hello again after another power nap, still laying here in bed, still with a headache.  I feel the need to blog another piece of the story before I pick up with insurance  research that I began to do this morning (if that wasn’t enough to give me a headache). So there I was at the…

  • Bike Accident Weekend Part 1

    Hello from Missoula Montana where my headache has awaken me and I feel that I must post a blog to let everyone know I am alright but my usual routine is not as usual. In this episode (Part 1) let me take you to Saturday. I got up early to put slicks on my bike…

  • Headed To Belt Montana

    I am finally out the door and I am 40 minutes late due to severe cold symptoms.  I will not miss out on summer after waiting a decade for it. I plan to do the race and then camp out somewhere.  Take care and have a good weekend.  Looks like I’ll miss the time trial…
